Leavin' Tennessee
Robert Earl Keen

Capo 3

DThe sun is settin' on ouGr time living here
DYou've lost the will, I've lost Gthe heart
DWe should be leavin' while thGe coast is still clear
DCause we won't make it afteGr dawn
EmWe can cash in our chips and Gpack up the Dcar
EmLock up the door Gand hide the Akey

Chorus:
The Donly two Athings
That mean Ganything to Ame
Are loving Dyou
A
And leaving TGennessee

Silver eagles fly down streets paved with gold
Stars keep shining through the dawn
Anything you can dream of to hold
You can have here for a song
But there's a song tonight that's riding the wind
I'm the words and you're the melody
Chorus

Bridge:
GIt's just the two of us
All Dout on our Aown
GThat's the way it ought tAo be

Chorus

We can call up all our friends on the phone
Tell them that someday we'll return
First, we have to start to make a new home
We have one last bridge to burn
Lay your head down and we'll drive
Through the night and in the morning light you're gonna see
Chorus
